The dense umbrella of the sakura blossoms was like being underwater and looking skyward up at the skin that separates the liquid from air. It's a strange feeling, when you reach through the boundary between two universes. In the water, everything is a lovely emerald green and you are weightless but enveloped. When you stick you hand out in to the air above the water, you're suddenly aware of gravity and the weight of air evaporating off your skin.
